[quote=Anonymous]You have no reason to think he won’t be a contributing member of society. It might not look like you want it to look, but it sounds like he is pretty darn functional. I have a child that will never, ever be a functioning member of society. She has profound intellectual disability and is cognitively less that one years old. She is a teenager that wears diapers and has zero functional communication. She doesn’t point, nod her head, etc. She requires 24/7 care and will end up in a facility. You have a child with ADHD and perhaps some other issues. It sounds like your child can communicate and navigate the world. Perhaps not in the way you want it to happen, but they can do it. I totally get that what you are dealing with is frustrating, annoying and feels enormous. But really, your child has tons of things going for them in addition to challenges. [/quote]
